Problems with updating unresolved internal xrefs in FrameMaker 7.2p158

[Baruch Brodersen]

Hi Linda,
Both source and target cross references must share the same conditional text
tag or they will *report* as unresolved if either are hidden in the final
book. To see if there are really unresolved xrefs present (and not just
reported ones), add a list or index of unresolved cross references to your
book. You may get lots of unresolved xrefs in the book-generated error.log,
but none in your generated file. Go by the generated file. You might also
add a list or index of external cross references to see what's going on
there. If you have xrefs to files outside of your book path, you may have
problems. Xrefs to files outside your book in another directory path will
report as resolved if the path is good even though the files are not part of
your book. Frame can find those files. However, the hypertext link will not
work in the resultant PDF because those files are quite obviously not part
of your book.
